Small, but well-maintained with a very friendly and helpful staff. Brand new fixed docks this year. The ONLY source for ethanol-free fuel on the Magothy River, which we need to keep our dinghy engine running trouble-free. Located in a small neighborhood community, there are no restaurants or shops within walking distance. Bathroom and shower needs a makeover, but otherwise a nice and affordable marina for an overnight on passage.

Hands down the best marina on the Chesapeake Bay. The first marina I have seen that truly earns the moniker of a "Resort Marina" with the most impeccably manicured grounds, plantings, trails, two beaches, pickleball courts, boat-kayak-and paddleboard rentals (free for slipholders). The on-site restaurant, Ketch 22, is amazingly good, with a fabulous outdoor bar and dining area overlooking the marina. Ketch 22 is the 'sister restaurant' to The Point restaurant on the Magothy River (at Ferry Point Marina). Owned as a group, along with Herrington Harbour North, Hartge Yacht Yard, and Shipwright, this family-owned business is top notch. Only minor drawback is that there is no town to walk to. Herrington North is just around the corner by boat and offers all the services, haulout, a West Marine, and another great restaurant, Dockside.
Any time we have visited other marinas and heard people make some nice comment about docks/food/amenities/bathrooms/pool/etc., we always say, "You must not have visited HH South yet"!View location on the Waterway Guide Explorer
